I hate receipts. With a passion. I think that they should be phased out of existence. With the database capabilities that we have now, no transaction with a card is in need of a paper receipt. Yet they're a necessary evil, especially if you have to keep track of your expenses for work or tax purposes. I buy a lot of electronics and media, which is occasionally DOA and needs to be returned or sent in for repairs. Which means, I need the receipt.
Shoeboxed is a service that allows you to scan your receipts and catalog them, as well as forward e-mailed receipts that you get from online stores. For 9.99 a month, you can even mail the receipts to them and they'll scan them for you, then shred and recycle them. There are also special scanners that you can buy that come with software, but I prefer the online option since you don't need an extra piece of machinery. I signed up for the $9.99 plan, but will probably end up doing the free one after the free trial is over (30 days).
